And in case I’m not sure what or how to pray for my neighbours, Karen Wilk has a suggestion for that, too. After identifying five households in my neighbourhood to pray for every day, she suggests that I ask God to B-L-E-S-S them:

Lord, be Lord of this neighbourhood. Show Yourself in ways that are far greater than we could ever ask or imagine. Help us to see You in everyone we meet and experience You in our midst, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, and every tongue confess in our neighbourhood, that You, Jesus, are Lord – the glory of God the Father. Amen. —————————————————————————— (page 33)

What will happen if I pray this way every day? What will happen if you join me? –
